SMETHPORT — A Mount Jewett man will serve at least 12 years in state prison for the sexual assault of two children between 2016 and 2019.

Kevin Brown, 59, will serve 12 years to 24 years, plus three years of consecutive supervision after a jury found him guilty of charges including involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault, statutory sexual assault and corruption of minors.

McKean County District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer said the crimes happened between Sept. 24, 2016, and Aug. 14, 2019, in Mount Jewett. Court records filed at the time of Brown’s arrest alleged that he had sexual contact on multiple occasions with a 6-year-old and an 8-year-old.

The case was investigated by Trooper Neil Ginther of the Pennsylvania State Police-Lewis Run barracks. Shaffer said the sentencing had been delayed because, under Pennsylvania law, anyone convicted of crimes such as these is required to be assessed by the Sex Offender Board prior to sentencing.

Brown was determined to require lifetime registration under the law formerly known as “Megan’s Law.”
